Conseils pour un clavier iso-fr, plutôt profil bas et avec numpad

Bon il est plus vers les 140 ou 150 que

Are Keychron switches supposed to die this fast?
Are you sure it is the switches? Have you done controlled experiments? For example, does a suspect switch still fail if inserted back in (in a different location)? Reseat before exchanging. Related: Keychron 2024 design and production quality issues with keychattering and missed keystrokes Keychron

Government Job = Excuse for a Pink/Feminine WFH Upgrade
Some mechanical keybs with low profile switches feel nice. Like a Mac keyboard, but better. Good brands have different key cap options. Here's a Keychron in white (not sure of AU availability, but gives the idea) https://www.keychron.com/collections/mechanical-keyboard/products/keychron-k5-max-qmk-v

Im about to pay $90 for Keychron K7, Is it worh it?
I'm a low profile keyboard lover as well. With regards to the K7 Max, I would rather prefer the K3 Max since it has the function row which is super useful for me. Do consider if you want to wait for the K3 HE & K3 Ultra. It's launching soon according to Keychron. HE switches are better for gaming wh

Full size Lofree with the creamy sound
You mean you don't want it to be compact? You could look at the Keychron K5 Max, but it probably won't sound or feel as good as the Lofree. Would probably feel better though if you got different switches.

Best sounding/most silent OEM switches for the K5 MAX?
Yes, basically. A tape mod filters out the high-pitched clack sounds, making the overall keyboard sound deeper, thockier and more 'poppy'. But also louder. Adding a thin (1.5 mm) O-ring to the keycap stem dampens the bottom-out noise, but also gives it a soft, cushioned feel when bottoming out. Some

What's the best mechanical keyboard on the market widely loved currently?
I have a keychron k5 max with brown switches. I returned two before this one. The first one had linear switches (red ones I think) and I didn't get along with them - lots of mistake key presses as they were too sensitive. Moved to brown switches. The second one had two keys that didn't work & a coup
